A Notable Convert

The MORNING NEWS is gratified to OBJ
serve that its warnings relative to
''booms" have mad good effect. Most OF
the journals In the South which have the
true interests Of their section at heart
have reproduced what the MORNING
NEWS has said on this subject. and nearly
all of them have added their Endorsement.
The MORNING News is especially graft
lied 20 observe that the esteemed Age, of
Birmingham, is among the journals
which see that the progress of the South
may be injured by too many "booms."
In recent issue the este emed Age de-
clares that one little mandatory which
employs few scores OF workingmen is
worth more to Birmingham than all the
real estate agents in that city. The dec
laration is evidence that the MORNING
NEWS is not without influence even in
the great centre OF blooms"
What the MORNING NEWS has said all
along it here reiterates. The South has
resources which only need to be known
to attract capital and consequent devel-
opment- She cannot afford TO have the
confidence in her undeveloped resources
anu HCI iubuIo Eicdbu6Ss WHICH now
exists destroyed by the kind of specula-
ton that is witnessed in some localities
She cannot have steady, healthy prog
ress if INSCRIPTIONS real estate agents
are allowed to cry "boom" every time a
scrap OF iron ore on piece of coal Is
found. There are localities where the
advance in real estate is legitimate, be-
cause they have something which in
sures steady and solid growth, but this is
not the case with respect to all the places
which are being doomed.
In the case of Birmingham there is no
question but that it is truly a "magic
CITY," Its wonderful growth is largely
the result of the ineXhaustible riches
which nature mas hidden within her sur
rounding hills. But it can hardly be de-
MED that 1t would be better for her If she
had fewer real estate agents and more
solid investors who propose to make their
homes within her limits. In placIng itself
upon the platform OF the MORNING NEWS
the esteemed Age acts wisely.

Army Officers and Their Wives.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Last winter &C.
counts were published of the ejectment from
the British Legation OF two ladies who came
unlimited into a musicale given by Miss West.
The Invitations to this entertainment were
verbal, and when the handsomely attired
strangers entered The legation parlors Miss
IVES asked them their names and if they had
been invited.
The ladies gave their names, said they wore
the wives OF army officers, ana admitted that
they had not been invited. The servant was
thereupon ordered to show them the door.
Some days afterward Miss West relat ed this
incident Of Washington iio ut a dinner party
wnere General and Mrs. sheridan were among
the guests. Mrs. Sheridan privately ASKED
Misc West for the names of the aides, but the
daughter of the Minister refused TO reveal
them. Gen. Sheridan next called at the le-
CATION on similar mission, but met with no
better success. Finally Mrs. Sheridan ad-
dressed "a note TO Miss Wes, begging the Ia
4 les names, and saying that as the wife of the
General of the Army and the social head of
army society here she thought she was enti-
eli to the information. Miss West reluctantly
gave the names, and Mrs. Sheridan took the
army register and hunted the officers roster
TO identify the offenders. Her search was in
vain. The names did not appear, and she
sent the register to Miss West, with q tri-
umphant note vindicaL' ng the wives OF army
officers from any such charges Of imperLi-
uence and lll-breedIng rs the story told by the
mistress OF the legation implied.

Modern Peripatetics.

A State exchange records the death OF
/ an old school teacher who had given in
struction in twenty different schools.
He was more OF a peripatetic tn an
most teachers, but there are
not many that have not taught
IN more than one school. 1t is part of
the trials OF the teacher to have TO move.
AS rule, unless he has a protessorship
in some college, he migrates at intervals
or three or four years. In some cases 1t
is his fault that he has to move, but
in the majority OF cases it is the fault OF
those who support the schools.
People who send children to school
in the smaller towns ard country dis
tricts seem soon to weary Of teacher.
His task is a difficult one, and it is i'm
possible for him to avoid giving offense
Among his ''patrons"-an unpleasant
word IN this connection-there is always
one more influential than the others, and
it generally occurs that be is more easily
offended than the others. When
ever he is offended he at once
begins to use his influence
against the teacher, and 1t is not long be-
remain TO engage in long, unpleasant,
and Improbable fight. II, at the ap-
preaching meeting of the Georgia Teach
ers' Association, those in attendance
should give their experience on this sub
ject 1t would be found that nearly all had
suffered at the hands of the "infueutial
patron" The truth is the average
teacher, outside of the cities and larger
towns, is man without fixed home,
and the Influential patron" is largely to
blame for this condition OF affairs.
1t is, perhaps, more unfortunate for the
pupils than 1t is for the teacher that the
latter is 80 often peripatetic. Under
frequent change Of instructors the pupils
progress is retarded. In most Georgia
towns boy of fifteen has had half dozen
different teachers, He has received from
them as many different impressions, has
been taught and untaught, and in the
end will be little more than what
is expressvely called a 'smatterer." AS
1t is with-the boys so it is with the girls.
Every year complaint comes up from
the colleges that the students who enter
are not properly prepared. In most
cases the reason is that they have had too
many teachers.
When the "patrons" OF school are
satisfied that they have a competent
teacher they should make it to his inter-
est to remain. If he knows that his po-
sition is permanent and that he has the
good will of his patrons" he will ac-
complish his work to good purpose, ana
the pupils who receive his instruction
will be the gamers. A good teacher is
invaluable to any community.

Washoe Sport Sacrifices His Entire
Wardrobe to Chance.

FrNU the Carson Appeal
A few days ago some Indians we're playing
cards in a vacant lot, when suddenly the best
dressed of the crowd rose up and took on a
shining brosdeloth coat, that only week be-
fore was presented TO him by Jewett Adams
He laid the coat down on the old card blanket
with great flourish. and called voclferously
for new deal.
The deal went round. and his opponent
who was an ole Washoe squaw, laid down n
greasy ace on his king. He then rose up VIII

him last Thursday by the editor OF he APP
peal as spring benevolence. The deal went
round again, and once more the old squaw
terminated the play with an ace. AGAIN the
oncs rose up, and after invoking the D azlnS
sun hauled of a white snrt, somewhat the
worse fer wear, presented him by Bob heat-
ing during the tendency OF the lottery BIZ.
once more the cards were tipped over the
old horsey blanket and that ace was lslo
down by the skinny handed squaw amid a
shout OF triumph from the crowd.

W ashoe tribe flashing in HIS eye, danced out,

Amid breathless silence he lost, and peeling
of his only remaining pants, he did them up
in a small wRd and flung them at the squaw's
head. A howl OF aboriginal laughter went
up. and the squaw. motioning toward the
hreech-cloth, began manipulating the cards.
But the buck, who still had some living rem
nants of acclmated modesty. declined TO
further denude himself, and breaking from
the crowd ran ike a cross eyed gazelle up
the street, causing much establishment to
several hou sewives along the line of hls

A Tariff Refnrnner

There is no doubt that Mr.. FairchiId.
the new Secretary of the Treasury, Is a
firm believer in tariff reform. AS he Is IA
man Of positive opinions he will push the
tariff reform policy of the Democratic
party TO the front whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself.
There is every reason to think that he
will make an able Secretary. He was
acting Secretary for several months be-
fore his promotion, and the President lad
a fair opportunity 10 judge of his oapaci-
ty an administrator, executive officer
and tinancier. His successful discharge
of the duties of Secretary doubtless Sc
cured him his appointment to the Secre-
taryship. If he. proves to be as able a
m an as it is believed he is, he will assist
very materially in advancing the tariff
reform cause. His recommendations
will have weight and will help to guide
Congress.
The Democratic party for its own well
fare is bound to do something in the di-
rectlon OF tariff reform. The country ia
about tired of promises. 1t wants to see
the promises fulfilled. II nothing 10 done
du ring the present Congress toward re-
ducing the tariff the impression that
either the Democratic party is not sin
cere IN its tariff reform utterances or
that it cannot make good its promises
will take pretty firm hold OF the public
mind. In either case the effect will be
damaging to it. Mr.. Fairchnd can do
his party great service by making the
most Of his opportunities to reduce and
reform the tariff.

Travelling Expenses.

Comptroller Durham, OF the Treasury,

try on committee work, have no hesita-
ton in grabbing as much out of the
Treasury for expenses as they can.
The judges vita whom he is having
trouble are Judge Deadly, OF Oregon, and
Judge Hammond, OF Tennessee. Judge
Hammond was called to Ohio to hold
court few days for judge who was
sick. The government pays the travelling
expenses OF judges under such oiroum-
stances. In Judge Hsmmond's expense

there was no law that required the
government TO furnish whisky 10 judges
or TO pay Tor having the mud scraped of
their boots.
The Oregon Judge, however, appears to
have taken shines, smiles and shaves by
the wholesale. The California climate
perhaps made plenty OF whisky a neces-
sity. His ''ot cetera" item called for
